Standardised breakfast plates are a dime a dozen nowadays. You may not give much thought to the Gastrosmiths Breakfast Plate ($22), amidst the other attractive menu offerings available, but hey, don't knock it till you try it.

I must commend the silky scrambled eggs, that almost outshone the other elements: crispy bacon, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and a Nürnberger sausage. Each plate also comes with a slice of toast, which I believe is made in-house, and a little saucer of currant compote (a refreshing change from the usual berry jam). Ask for a side of butter.
